Background Ultra-low-dose (ULD) CT could facilitate the clinical implementation of large-scale lung cancer screening while minimizing the radiation dose. However, traditional image reconstruction methods are associated with image noise in low-dose ac...
Background Assessment of liver lesions is constrained as CT radiation doses are lowered; evidence suggests deep learning reconstructions mitigate such effects. Purpose To evaluate liver metastases and image quality between reduced-dose deep learning ...
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the image quality and clinical acceptance of a deep learning reconstruction (DLR) algorithm compared to traditional iterative reconstruction (IR) algorithms.
BACKGROUND: A tomographic patient model is essential for radiation dose modulation in x-ray computed tomography (CT). Currently, two-view scout images (also known as topograms) are used to estimate patient models with relatively uniform attenuation c...
PURPOSE: To compare the image quality between a deep learning-based image reconstruction algorithm (DLIR) and an adaptive statistical iterative reconstruction algorithm (ASiR-V) in noncontrast trauma head CT.
PURPOSE: In contrast-enhanced abdominopelvic CT (CE-APCT) for oncologic follow-up, ultrahigh-resolution CT (UHRCT) may improve depiction of fine lesions and low-dose scans are desirable for minimizing the potential adverse effects by ionizing radiati...
OBJECTIVE: To determine the difference in CT values and image quality of abdominal CT images reconstructed by filtered back-projection (FBP), hybrid iterative reconstruction (IR), and deep learning reconstruction (DLR).
OBJECTIVES: The lung nodule volume determined by CT is used for nodule diagnoses and monitoring tumor responses to therapy. Increased image noise on low-dose CT degrades the measurement accuracy of the lung nodule volume. We compared the volumetric a...
PURPOSE: Noise power spectrum (NPS) is a commonly used performance metric to evaluate noise-reduction techniques (NRT) in imaging systems. The images reconstructed with and without an NRT can be compared via their NPS to better understand the NRT's e...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Computed Tomography (CT) has become an important clinical imaging modality, as well as the leading source of radiation dose from medical imaging procedures. Modern CT exams are usually led by two quick orthogonal localizatio...
